Synopsis

The operator Ik(η, α) and its adjoint Kk(η, α) have obvious boundedness properties for α ≧½ because of their resemblance to fractional integrals. By expressing Ik(0, α) as the product of two Hankel transformations and a translation Heywood and Rooney [1] have shown that if 0<α<½ then Ik(η, α) and Kk(η, α) can be extended to bounded operators from a weighted Lp space to itself provided that 2/(1+α) ≦ p ≦ 2/(1−α) and the weight is suitably restricted. Heywood and Rooney conjectured that this p range could be improved, andin the present paper it is extended to

which may be best possible.
